Around 5:50 a.m., police responded to reports of a man walking nearly naked through Studio City. The individual—later confirmed to be Lil Nas X, born Montero Lamar Hill—was seen wearing only white underwear and cowboy boots, singing and interacting with passersby in a surreal display captured on video by TMZ.
Upon arrival, LAPD officers reported that the rapper charged at them, prompting his arrest for battery on a peace officer. Before being booked, he was transported to a nearby hospital for a suspected overdose. His current condition remains unclear, and representatives have not yet issued a public statement.
